Anti-Anxiety Smoothie Recipe

November 17, 2014 By Jenna 31 Comments

Start your day off zen with this anti-anxiety smoothie recipe. You’ll be glad to know that I tirelessly experimented in the kitchen until I found a combo that was full of calm but still tasty.

Sidenote: Mike wants to know why tasty is a good thing while smelly is a bad thing. Ponder that.

This anti-anxiety smoothie recipe is packed with ingredients that have been known to decrease anxiety, and it is NOT full of caffeine or any added or artificial sugar.

Zen starts in your kitchen. Keep your day calm with this anxiety relief healthy smoothie recipe. It has food that you already probably have in your fridge with one optional ingredient to really give it a boost!

 

Anti-Anxiety Smoothie Recipe

Ingredients:

1/4 cup spinach
1 banana
1/4 cup frozen blueberries (you could even do a berry mix if you want!)
1/4 cup frozen peaches
1 tbsp flax seed
1 tsp acai powder (optional)
1/2 to 1 cup plain kefir (Greek yogurt is a great substitute)

Directions:

1. Place ingredients in blender starting with softest to hardest
2. Blend up until smooth
3. Add more kefir if it is not liquidy enough
4. Drink and be calm

About the Ingredients

spinach: contains cortisol regulating magnesium
bananas: contain tryptophan (helps boost seratonin), vitamin B, and is a natural beta-blocker
blueberries: contain vitamin C and antioxidants that help protect and repair cells damaged by anxiety
peaches: considered a natural sedative
flax seed: contains omega-3 for healthy nerves
acai: I’ve heard mixed reviews on acai’s benefit for anxiety. It supposedly has similar properties to blueberries. So, take it or leave it.
kefir: contains probiotics which are linked to a healthy gut, and a healthy gut leads to less anxiety issues

 

Obviously, I am not a doctor, so take all of this with a grain of salt. And I don’t mean that you should add salt to your anti-anxiety smoothie recipe, because that would be gross.

    This looks so so so good! Thanks so much for sharing. I wonder if subbing the kefir for Greek yogurt would do anything to the overall anti-anxietyness of the drink?

    Don’t forget to use Mint leaves in smoothie. Either for garnishing or within the smoothie. It gives a refreshing feeling!

      You should be able to purchase it at any grocery store these days. It is like a fermented yogurt drink with cultures. I know we get ours at Aldi even!

    Hi! My anti- anxiety smoothie (also helps with coffee jags) consists of: water, 2 tsps chia, some cucumber, 1 tsp magnesium citrate, 1 tsp turmeric, 1 tsp marshmallow root powder, 1 tsp ashwagandha powder ( an adaptogen), 1/2 tsp REAL cinnamon, 1 tsp spirulina, 1 tsp dried peppermint leaf, protein powder, lemon juice, a 1″ nub of ginger root, and 1/2 an avocado….lots of ingredients, but the idea is some fats, protein, ginger and peppermint for clarity, marshmallow root and cucumber soothe, and magnesium and ashwagandha generally help with coping, some greens for chlorophyll…
